Potato Preparation
Method
Frying Process
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut each potato into long, thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
